Education

You have to enter your 1099-Q in TurboTax. As you do not have education expenses, TurboTax will automatically tax the earnings and calculate the penalty of 10% and include them in your tax return.

In TurboTax, you can enter your form 1099-Q by following these steps:

  • In TurboTax, open your tax return
  • Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Deductions & Credits on top of the screen
  • Scroll down to All Tax breaks, locate the section Education and click on Show more
  • Click Start next to ESA and 529 qualified tuition programs (form 1099-Q) (see attached screenshot).
